This castle is so cool! Takes a while to set up but my husband and father in law did it and it looks perfect! My 3 and 4 year old girls will have hours of fun with all the supplies that come with it. Good buy.
Although the quality of the pieces are not as sturdy as I would have hoped, my daughters ages 4 & 7 will love the castle and will enjoy hours of play...
My daughters age 3 and 5 both wished for this toy for Christmas-which we celebrated early. I awoke to the sounds of my daughters excited shrieks of "It came! Santa brought the castle!" It is an impressive site displayed under the tree. But within 10 minutes of play, the staircase popped apart- which also frustrated Santa to no end last night! It just doesn't seem to hold together well at all. The columns will pop out of place at the slightest attempt at moving the castle, the bed is almost too long to fit in the room, the stove just sits against the wall, the towel rack keeps falling apart... But the worst is the staircase- that is the focal point for many pretend plays and it just doesn't hold up at all. The instructions were almost nonexistent. And the only sounds we've been able to locate are the doorbell, the tub bubbling, and the dance music. Overall- this is worth about half of what I paid for it. But the girls have been playing with it for most of the day. I just hope it will last at least another 12 months,
